Any help would be appreciate here! Thanks in advance. Last year in the days following my future Father-in-law's funeral, I was running around helping out the family take care of a lot of things with his vehicle (handicap sticker visible). I ran into a store to grab something for one of his family's members and parked in a handicap spot. When I came back to the vehicle a few minutes later, I was approached and ticketed by either a parking attendant or an officer - I really don't know which. The $450 ticket was presented listing the vehicle's licence plate information and stated that it was for parking in a handicap space while not transporting. The notice was sent to his farm weeks later but we didn't see it until a month or so after the deadline for payment so a trial was requested by default. The trial is next week (just found out after picking up the mail at the farm). I'm wondering if my fiance should attend. He is the executor of the estate. The car has since been sold and plates have been turned in. If the owner of the vehicle is deceased and the ticket was on the plates themselves, what happens if no one shows to the trial? I'm wondering specifically if the estate will be responsible for the ticket or if they would attempt to find out my info and reissue the ticket to me. I honestly can't remember if I handed my drivers license to the officer or if he took down any info on me. Can someone advise what happens to parking tickets if the plates have been returned and the owner is deceased? I just don't want the family stuck with a fine...

They ticket was issued to the owner of the vehicle, so your father in law will be listed as the defendant in this matter. Since he has passed away I don't think there is anything they can really do to collect the fine. That having been said, I would still have the executor of the estate attend court with a copy of the death certificate. He can present it to the prosecutor before trial at which point they will most likely withdraw the charge. This will make sure you don't have a collection agency calling up and harassing your family a year from now looking to collect money from someone who has passed away. While I don't think the estate would owe any money it is probably better to get everything sorted out now then to wait for it to go to collections.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
